Hi Heather, Kids and the Wizard

Nice to hear from you. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. Sorry I could not take Harry this time but I have been out and about most of this month.

I might have a solution for another cavalier for you. I am thinking of rehoming Chloe, Harry's mother. She is 3 1/2 years old. I had another litter from her 15 weeks ago and found out why she had difficulties in passing the pups. She can't have any more litters, which does not bother me, so I am thinking of getting her spayed. She is in perfectly good health. Don't know if you are interested, but if I can get her a good home I will be pleased. If you are I don't want any money for her. She does not like showing and is more interested in being loved at home...Just a thought for you to think about.

That age gap would be good, if you are seriously considering a second dog. Having two dogs really close in age means you eventually have two elderly dogs with all the same afflictions at the same time and those in such a situation generally advise people to avoid it if possible -- it makes life a bit more difficult at home looking after two oldies. And it would be nice to have two related dogs that know each other.

will them being related not cause problems?? thats the only thing i'm worried about!

If June has Chloe spayed i'll still get Harry done so he doesn't have the urge to pester her.
And unlike Ebony, Chloe lives in a house full of cavaliers (9 in total!) so i know that won't be a shock for her lol

No, related dogs don't have any more problems getting along than unrelated dogs. If they remember each other that's nice though. The only problem is if very close relations breed with each other -- not generally good genetically.
